We need an ASW-19 rebirth for $25,000
Nice bit of fantasy, if you're into that stuff. I preferred this

Naysayers, naysayers!!! Are you guys really pilots? Aren't soaring pilots supposed to be optimists?
The same nonsense statements were said about the wright brothers. A PW-5 cost $18,500 new. Using an inflation calculator, that would be $29,487 in today's money. I'm talking about a "barebones" glider, no frills. No blowholes, no winglets, no water ballast, no flaps, just the absolute basics. Nothing but basic instruments, no upholstery, just a seat pan. If it happened with the PW-5, it can happen again....just this time needs to be with a 15 meter wingspan and a t tail. |

Here's the funniest part of all this... try buying a glider. Long wait times. Factories can't keep up with the demand. And that's at these "excessive" prices.
That's not exactly a sign of an overpriced market. When supply is well below demand, it's unlikely that the product is overpriced. Gliders go forever, and you can get incredible performance at a very reasonable cost by buying a 25 year old glider. Only a fool would try to compete against that. To the OP - why not just buy an older glider? Why ask someone to build something that already exists? |

Andrew Ainslie,
If it was the same price, why buy something that's 40 years old??? |

If WHAT was the same price?
There is no such product, nor will there be. Unless you'd like, as an act of philanthropy, to take $20 million or so and sink it onto making gliders and selling them at below cost. Or - just buy a 2nd hand 19. |

I will produce what you want, at that price, but I need an order for
900,000 of them and a 50% deposit. At 05:47 15 March 2017, wrote: That Douglas Adams quote is so appropriate today in The Netherlands. Thanks! |
